Verdict: RISADITA has to be the first name on the shortlist. She likes to stalk the early speed and has been successful at this track before, while Runway Lights and Youmakemecharlie could run well too.

Youmakemecharlie

Jockey: Paco Lopez Trainer: Michael Trombetta Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 143-80

Comment: Last of ten in an allowance race four weeks ago at Laurel Park upped to 1m; first-time blinkers now tried; capable of making an impact as jockey does well from inner gates here and shown she can get her head in front.

Melancia

Jockey: Madison Olver Trainer: Rob Atras Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 4221

Comment: Off the mark at the eighth time of asking over 5f at Pimlico (maiden claimer, sloppy track) two weeks ago, scoring by just under 4l; improved form the last twice; can be on the premises as lower claiming tag worth taking at face value.

Princess Gladys

Comment: Respectable display to finish fourth, beaten 4½l in an allowance race (bobbled at the start) at Tampa Bay Downs 23 days ago; has won here previously; not always shown an awful lot since winning a maiden claimer at Monmouth Park last June.

Comment: Has been consistent of late; fair effort when beaten 1½l at Tampa Bay Downs last month in a claimer; claiming tag now upped from $25k; she has a shout if replicating the best of her form.

Mo Damorninggrouch

Jockey: Christian Maragh Trainer: Rachael Keithan Age/Wt: 6/8-2 F: 7-887

Comment: Stumbled at the start in a claimer (Aqueduct) when finishing last of seven three months ago; hasn't really fired since her success in a maiden claimer at Belmont At The Big A in September; deeper waters here (in for $40k here, $25k tag last time); tends to find at least one too good; difficult to build a solid case for her.

Kara Para

Comment: Went close when second at Aqueduct last month in a claimer; is a specialist at this distance; down in class now, dropping from a $16k tag; should get involved as jockey does well from inside draws here.

Comment: Track has proven suitable before; successful three times in her last five starts; narrow winner of a claimer at Parx 22 days ago; recent win points to her being able to handle class rise so ought to be considered.

Everlys Girl

Jockey: Madison Olver Trainer: Devon Dougherty Age/Wt: 6/8-9 F: 316454

Comment: Is a multiple winner this year but not really built on success in a claimer three months ago at Aqueduct; last of four when dropped down to 6f (Aqueduct) last month in a claimer; in for a $12.5k tag so up in class ($10k last time); now looks to be past her prime and others more appealing.

Comment: Successful 13 times from 45 career runs; out of the frame (beaten 9l in fifth) two weeks ago when dropped to 6f in an optional claimer; peak figure in the past year is the best in the field so is capable of making an impact.

Blame The Banker

Jockey: Paco Lopez Trainer: Panagiotis Synnefias Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 78-

Comment: Finished eighth, beaten a fair way in a maiden special weight upped to 1m½f at Keeneland with blinkers applied in October; returns from a layoff here; every chance as she now drops into a maiden claimer for the first time and her jockey excels from low numbers over this C&D.

Lost In Thought

Jockey: Fernando Jara Trainer: Michael Aro Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 2237-

Comment: Got across to lead early from a wide draw over 1m½f at Parx (maiden claimer) when beaten 29l (seventh of eight) in October; grade looks suitable and appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; back from an absence here; possible squeak as lower claiming tag should make this easier and she ran well in defeat two starts back.

Comment: Well beaten behind the seventh, Corrib Queen, (5f, Meadowlands) when beaten on her debut at 22-1 in September; returns from a layoff here; first attempt in claiming company; might be better for the experience although not hard to turn elsewhere despite this looking a little easier than last time.

Verdict: EMIRATES HONOR is expected to get the job done. He was behind Blue Marble latest but can now overturn placings and ran with credit last time. My Pal Max and Midnight Legend can give the selection something to think about.

Go Yoshida

Jockey: Samuel Marin Trainer: Sergio Rabadan Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 0-

Comment: Comfortably beaten into last on his debut in September over C&D; back from an absence here; claiming debut; could improve although needs to despite this looking a little easier than last time.

Midnight Legend

Jockey: Jorge Gonzalez Trainer: Patrick McBurney Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 06-99

Comment: Best he's managed so far is sixth from six career starts; unable to land a blow in ninth in a maiden claimer (Tampa Bay Downs) in February; calmer waters here (in for $12.5k, $16k tag last time); definitely of interest.

Emirates Honor

Jockey: Sonny Leon Trainer: E Hernandez Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 537223

Comment: Has found improvement of late and normally pretty consistent; favourite 15 days ago when beaten just over 1l to finish third splitting Blue Marble, Lock Barrel and Mine Seeker in a maiden claimer; claiming tag now upped to $12.5k; strong claims if reproducing most recent effort.

Lock Barrel

Jockey: Dexter Haddock Trainer: Sergio Rabadan Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 4938-4

Comment: Winless in six starts but has shown promise with third his top showing; creditable effort (went off 16-1) to finish fourth over 6f here (maiden claimer) when separating a number of reopposing rivals 15 days ago; in for a $10.5k tag here, up from $10k last time; this looks a fair heat so looks an unlikely winner.

Fierce Cat

Jockey: Axel Concepcion Trainer: Michael Dini Age/Wt: 3/8-7

Comment: Workout history suggests fitness may not be an issue; conceding experience to all his rivals; related to 5½f winner Sophisticurl; no surprise to see him go well with signs of encouragement in profile.

Brad's Bet

Jockey: Christian Maragh Trainer: Russell Cash Age/Wt: 5/8-4 F: 77620-

Comment: Has shown some recent improvement but yet to open his account after 16 starts; finished tenth of 12 at Meadowlands in October upped to 1m in a maiden claimer; claiming value now rises to $12.5k; returns from a layoff; a few rivals look in good form so looks opposable.

Comment: Has run ten times without getting off the mark; not beaten too far when fifth of seven over 6f here (maiden claimer, bumped at the start) two weeks ago; claiming value now rises to $10.5k; can be in the mix as shown some ability on occasion.

Blue Marble

Jockey: Paco Lopez Trainer: Patrick McBurney Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 5/79-52

Comment: Finished in front of several of these in a maiden claimer (bumped at the start) when beaten three-quarters of a length after showing little previously two weeks ago; has arguably shown improved form the last twice; claiming tag rises from $10k last time; in the mix if reproducing most recent effort.

Comment: Beaten 11l (fifth) over 1m½f here (maiden claimer) last week; not yet off the mark in four attempts although has finished second; eased in class with tag standing at $12.5k here; has posted some fair efforts in defeat and entitled to respect.

Jockey: Samy Camacho Trainer: Chad Brown Age/Wt: 4/8-6 F: 1129-6

Comment: Resume shows that she is a proven winner (seeking a sixth career win); halted losing run when landing an allowance optional claimer over 1m by 1l (Churchill Downs) last month; arguably the one to beat despite moving up in class and should be sharper for her recent return to action.

Keep It Sweet

Jockey: Jean Aguilar Trainer: Cesareo Marquez Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 54646-

Jockey: Joe Bravo Trainer: Joseph Orseno Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 53

Comment: Solid performance to finish third at 33-1 in a maiden claimer (Gulfstream Park) 28 days ago; related to Stakes winner Get Set; lightly raced with this just her third appearance; the trainer has enjoyed plenty of winners of late.

Growth Trajectory

Jockey: Samuel Marin Trainer: Chad Brown Age/Wt: 3/8-7

Comment: Sire does get winners on the turf; newcomer by Lope de Vega; market signals often informative with debutants from this yard; a likely player with signs of encouragement in profile and the trainer is in good nick.

Tight Line

Jockey: Jorge Ruiz Trainer: Jorge Duarte Age/Wt: 3/8-7

Comment: Constitution gets winners on the turf; trainer has a good record with newcomers; market may be informative on her prospects against runners with experience.

Channel Check

Jockey: Samy Camacho Trainer: Chad Brown Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 7

Comment: Favourite but out of the money on her debut at Tampa Bay Downs over this trip at 9-10 in March; looks the part on breeding (by Night Of Thunder) and represents a powerful trainer; first-time blinkers; must be high on list as has a pedigree which suggests there is more to come and she was strong in the market last time.

Comment: Missed out by a short head in a maiden special weight (Gulfstream Park) last month; has been fairly consistent this year and seems to be improving based on last two runs; big chance if replicating most recent run and her most recent trackwork was pleasing.

Jockey: Sonny Leon Trainer: Michael Dini Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 2-24465

Lady Meis

Jockey: Fernando Jara Trainer: Lindsay Schultz Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 463-6

Comment: Has found improvement of late and has proven competitive in a race of this nature; fair effort when beaten 3½l, finishing sixth of nine over 1m at Keeneland (maiden special weight) last month; jockey booking is a positive; likely to be in contention if she is able to replicate her best form.

Cadencia

Jockey: Samuel Marin Trainer: William Morey Age/Wt: 7/8-9 F: 11-2

Comment: Produced a good effort to finish runner-up at Gulfstream Park over 5f (allowance optional claimer) with Definite Diva just behind two months ago; has been in the winners' enclosure four times in her career.

Valiant Majesty

Jockey: Dexter Haddock Trainer: Josue Arce Age/Wt: 6/8-9 F: 3-41623

Comment: Finishing third was a good effort 26 days ago (Parx) in an optional claimer; career record shows her ability to win (wins-runs record of 6-29) and string of consistent efforts of late; switching to turf for the first time.

Virginia City

Jockey: Isaac Castillo Trainer: Diane Morici Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 1-3556

Comment: Beaten 7l in an allowance race at Laurel Park last month; runs in claiming company for the first time; this line-up contains some strong opposition so hard to recommend.

Rabbit Hound

Jockey: Paco Lopez Trainer: Dan Ward Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 3-1758

Comment: Out of the frame when eighth over 1m at Oaklawn Park (starter allowance) on first run for this trainer last month; he can be competitive at this level; Dan Ward's runners are going great guns at the moment; prospects as shown he can get his head in front.

Shifty Gold

Jockey: Samuel Marin Trainer: Chad Brown Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 5-11

Comment: Bidding for a hat-trick and looks the part on breeding (by Twirling Candy); won an optional claimer by 2½l at Aqueduct (problems in the gate at the start) in March; clear chance.

Brooklyn Guy

Jockey: Jose Batista Trainer: Diane Morici Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 1-73

Comment: Successful twice in his last six starts; finished fourth but subsequently promoted to third (sloppy track) last month (Laurel Park) in an optional claimer; others have more pressing claims.

Middle Market

Jockey: Samy Camacho Trainer: Chad Brown Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 47/61-

Comment: Narrow success in a maiden claimer (Aqueduct) when opening his account at the fourth time of asking (muddy track) last March; represents a powerful stable; been off the track a long time; cannot be ignored.

Three Captains

Jockey: Abner Adorno Trainer: Claudio Gonzalez Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 5-335

Comment: Not beaten too far when fifth at Laurel Park four weeks ago in an allowance race; resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a fourth career win); may have to settle for supporting role given many of his rivals are in good form.

Awesome Flay

Jockey: Melvis Gonzalez Trainer: Harold Wyner Age/Wt: 5/8-4 F: 331522

Jasper's Pride

Jockey: Frankie Pennington Trainer: Chuck Spina Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 5226-

Comment: Out of the frame when sixth (sloppy track, Parx) in December in an allowance optional claimer; was second here six months ago and record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 3-13); returns from a break today; looks likely to be involved.
